Dynamo edge Chivas USA on own goal

HOUSTON 
The Houston Dynamo took advantage of Chivas USA's own goal in the 55th minute en route to a 2-1 victory Saturday night in Major League Soccer.

The deciding goal came off Brad Davis' corner kick. Michael Lahoud hit the ball out of the goal mouth, but it pinballed off of Chivas USA's Heath Pearce and into his own goal.

Marcos Mondaini opened the scoring for Chivas USA (4-5-5) in the seventh minute with an unassisted goal. Houston's Hunter Freeman tried to pass back to goalkeeper Tally Hall, but kicked it weak, and Mondaini picked it off. Mondaini dribbled it in from the left, faked out Hall and tapped an easy shot into the open net.

Geoff Cameron tied for Houston (4-5-6) in the 29th minute with a header off Davis' free kick.

The Dynamo ended a seven-game winless streak with their first victory since beating D.C. United on April 29. Houston also ended Chivas USA's unbeaten streak at three games.
